Produce accurate, consistent, and
stable prepress contract proofs
PREPRESS SPECIALISTS
Automated profiling, stable colors, and an extremely broad gamut
• Accurate and consistent colors are assured through automated ICC profile generation.
• Colors stay true and stabilize at less than 1 ΔE in under 5 minutes.
• The printer covers over 80% of PANTONE
®
colors
(2
and completely encompasses the
SWOP, ISO, GRACOL, EUROSCALE, TOYO, FOGRA, and 3DAP gamuts.
Integrated solutions that drastically shorten your workflow
• Automated closed-loop color consistency is achieved with the printer’s embedded
spectrophotometer, featuring GretagMacbeth’s leading i1 color technology.
• Integrate one of a range of commercially available proofing RIPs, such as the Colorproof
o4 RIP from GMG, for a customized proofing solution. This leading prepress RIP
combines with the printer to form a cost-effective solution that verifies the press-standard
color compliance of your proofs.
• Or add the optional EFI Designer Edition 5.1 RIP for HP (XL version), developed for
graphic designers and providing CMYK workflow support, PostScript and PDF printing,
and accurate spot color management.
Electrosteric Encapsulation
Technology
«The HP Designjet Z3100 printer is a major step forward for
prepress. It has got a built-in spectrophotometer, which calibrates the
machine and brings it into a known state, and, because it's built in,
it's error free. This printer is like a color management center
Allan Roche, Pixel CMS Ltd.
«By combining the embedded eye-one
color spectrophotometer together with
the latest printing technologies found in
the new HP Designjet Z Photo Printers,
new ground-breaking standards in large-
format printing have been established,
providing the industry with a new
benchmark

KEY TECHNOLOGIES
«Metamerism is very important for us, and I’ve seen that this
inkjet printer has the lowest metamerism in the marketplace
Allan Roche, Pixel CMS Ltd.
HP Vivera pigment inks offer outstanding image quality and
fade resistance on a wide variety of photo and fine art media,
along with water resistance on a range of HP creative and
specialty media. HP’s proprietary Electrosteric Encapsulation
Technology optimizes the pigment chemistry and ink properties
for stability and performance to ensure a broad color gamut,
print permanence, excellent gloss uniformity, and reliable,
accurate, and consistent printing.
HP's 12-ink printing system involves six HP 70
Printheads, each printing two colors of ink with 1,056
nozzles per color. The system includes the HP Gloss
Enhancer and HP Vivera pigment inks in seven colors
and four blacks. These inks deliver an exceptionally
broad color gamut for photographic and graphics art
applications, superb neutral tones, and deep blacks
on matte, glossy, semi-gloss, and fine art papers.
The HP embedded spectrophotometer with i1 Color Technology
from GretagMacbeth is mounted on the printer carriage and
revolutionizes professional color workflows by automating
media profiling. It allows users to automatically generate custom
RGB ICC profiles for their preferred media and provides
accurate measurements for printer calibration that delivers print-
to-print and printer-to-printer color consistency. Also, with the
optional HP Advanced Profiling Solution, you can edit and
modify existing profiles and create CMYK profiles.
An extensive media portfolio: HP offers a portfolio of
9 photo papers, 10 digital fine art papers, 3 proofing
papers, 9 bond and coated papers, and over 30
other HP media. All have been tested with HP 70
Vivera pigment inks to deliver consistent, museum-
quality prints that withstand the demands of handling,
display and storage expected of professional prints.
